MS didn't try enough with marketing for Quantum Break. They said they didn't want to have it against the other exclusives but then they didn't really try much to even sell it when it released.

Reviews did also not really help the game, it's simply not a 90+ Metascore game which many people would instantly buy then. Some people look at the Metascore, some read only single reviews on their favourite sites and on average, most magazine simply didn't give a clear "buy it" and there are many who buy games after reviews.

Well, at least in this cinematic experience universe. If it would be a sandbox game, smaller indie game or whatever it could be lucky to sell good even with an average Metascore.

The Uncharted games as example would probably only sell 1/3  of what they sell if their scores would be below 80. 

I actually saw a lot of ads on the internet6. I rarely watch TV but i watched like 2 hours of TV the week QB launched and i saw like 3 ads.

If Recore launches in October, im afraid there wont be enough time to promote it properly. i mean, we havent even see gameplay yet.

also, too bad the beta date leaked. it'll be nice to see the reactions after Spencer said "and its available now!"

I hope it doesn't launch in October. MS will need to advertise gears 4, battlefield 1 ,and recore if that happens and we all know recore is going to get the short end of the stick. December would be a good time.

Quantum break is still getting advertised.

Advertising is not the reason QB didn't sell. Come on guys. It's the fanbase

I thought qb was advertised good. Saw plenty of commercials for it. At least 10 and I don't even watch that much tv.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

The problem is that it wasn't a traditional cover shooter. If it had The Division or Gears style it would've sold more.

Or maybe it's really just the game itself which is the problem. I mean, let's say the game would be multiplat on XBO+PS4+PC. Would this kind of  game which is considered by most reviewers and also players as "average" really sell millions on PS4 compared to the 500k-1m it will sell on XBO physically? 

It would sell probably around 1.5m phsically on PS4 (and it will sell like half of that on XBO) but I just don't see why this game is supposed to be a big seller on another platform and how XBO players are to judge. 

It simply isn't a game which would sell millions on any platform as long as they won't throw it on us for super cheap and/or bundled on holidays with a  physical copy  or as long as it woudn't be so hyped as exclusive that people would buy it only because of hype (which wasn't really the case with Quantum Break, not like how The Order sold probably 50% only because of that)

When I look at the PS4 list of games which sold between 1-2m I'm pretty sure that Quantum Break would land anywhere there and selling 2x as much as on XBO is not really anything crazy considering the much bigger userbase. It wouldn't sell 2m+ on PS4 and only then you could maybe say that it's the fault of the XBO players and how the game would be more successful with another userbase. 

If it would be a JRPG or something then yes, it would probably sell 5x as much on PS4 (or even more) but I think Quantum Break just isn't the right game for many people regardless of the platform.

Thank MS for the Rocket League free weekend. Already got my 1000 Gamerscore and it was quite fun.
Finally a game I could play with my girlfriend again. Always wanted to buy it at a slight discount and I'm still going to buy it some time in the future.

I literally just saw a QB trailer on ESPN.
